Former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has emerged as a prominent figure in this offseason’s NFL coaching search, generating considerable interest not only in head coaching positions but also in offensive coordinator roles.

McDaniel was scheduled to interview for the Cleveland Browns head coaching position on Wednesday. Still, he chose to withdraw from consideration for the job, as reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

The 42-year-old coach is still in the running for the head coach positions with the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens, while also being considered for a handful of offensive coordinator roles.

Denver Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham spent his 2019 rookie season backing up Tom Brady during the latter’s final campaign with the New England Patriots.

Following Bo Nix’s season-ending ankle injury, Stidham has a chance to lead the Broncos past the Patriots into the Super Bowl when the teams play in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.

The former fourth-round pick can also join Brady and a handful of others in an exclusive club of signal-callers to lead their team to the Super Bowl following injuries to the starter.

Devin McCourty knows a thing or two about playing safety in the NFL. Over his 13 years in the league, he appeared in 229 games and helped the New England Patriots win three Super Bowls.

So, when he takes to social media to say a rookie “plays like a 10-year vet,” it is not some random Joe Schmo giving his opinion.

The rookie in question is Patriots fourth-round draft pick Craig Woodson, who played a critical role in New England’s divisional playoff win over the Houston Texans on Saturday. Playing all but five of his team’s 75 defensive snaps, he...

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs will compete for a shot at the Super Bowl this Sunday, while his brother Trevon is on the hunt for a new team.

The Green Bay Packers announced on Tuesday that they have parted ways with Diggs. This marks the second time this season he has been let go, as the Dallas Cowboys released him at the end of December.

Green Bay claimed Diggs on Dec. 31, along with his five-year, $97 million contract he signed in the summer of 2023.

Diggs appeared in the last regular season game for the Packers, recording...

The Denver Broncos announced that starting quarterback Bo Nix broke his ankle on the offense’s final snap of the game during the overtime win in the divisional round against the Buffalo Bills.

Head coach Sean Payton then announced that Jarrett Stidham would be the starting quarterback for this Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the team that drafted him in 2019, the New England Patriots.

Stidham was once again the only backup quarterback in the NFL to have not attempted a pass this season. It is the second year in a row that the Broncos’ backup was the NFL’s only pass-less...

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye had a rollercoaster of an afternoon against the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Despite the Patriots clinching a 28-16 victory, Maye had a mixed performance. He threw three touchdown passes but also struggled with an interception and fumbled the ball four times, losing two of them.

Maye can’t perform as he did against the Texans when the Patriots face the Denver Broncos on Sunday, or there’s a chance New England won’t come out on top.

Boston Sports Journal’s Patriots writer Greg Bedard stated what Maye has to improve on for New England to score a...

Saturday’s divisional round playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Denver Broncos was yet another overtime thriller that ended in an interception from quarterback Josh Allen (0-7 all-time in overtime).

The interception in question has been hotly debated after essentially ending the Bills’ season and propelling the Broncos to a berth in the AFC Championship Game against the Bills’ division rival, the New England Patriots.

From a non-biased perspective, it seems pretty clear that the Bills receiver never had possession while the Broncos defender ended the play with the ball in his hands. Nonetheless, the debate has been featured...

It was reported late Monday night that the Tennessee Titans were close to finalizing a deal to hire San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as their next head coach.

Amid the news, senior NFL insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic discussed the move, lambasting those who have been comparing Saleh to New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.

The latter spent six seasons as Tennessee’s head coach, leading the Titans to the playoffs three times and earning Coach of the Year honors following the 2021 campaign.

Vrabel, who guided the Patriots to a 14-3 record during the 2025 regular...

The show rolls on for the New England Patriots as a divisional round victory over the Houston Texans has secured their spot in the AFC Championship Game for the first time since 2018. Now, New England will put their perfect road record to the test as they head out to Denver to take on the Broncos and quarterback Jarrett Stidham, who fills in for the injured Bo Nix.

So, submit any Patriots questions — or whatever else is on your mind — down in the comments below or on Twitter using #PostPulpit.

Stay tuned for Friday’s updated mailbag.

The New England Patriots will be going back on the road for the AFC Championship Game on Sunday to play the Denver Broncos.

New England has been solid on the road this season, as the Patriots went a perfect 8-0 on the road during the regular season. Although a road playoff game is a bit different, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel believes the team knows what to do to have success on the road.

“I just think that they really focus in on the road environment, like you said, of starting well, not beating ourselves, trying to be good at...

A pair of 2025 New England Patriots draft selections got another call in January.

Running back TreVeyon Henderson and kicker Andy Borregales have been named to the Pro Football Writers of America’s All-Rookie team, the organization announced Tuesday.

Henderson, 23, landed in Foxborough in the second round of April’s NFL draft at No. 38 overall. From there, the national champion by way of the Ohio State Buckeyes totaled 911 rushing yards, 221 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns through 215 offensive touches during his debut regular season. He led all rookies with 5.1 rushing yards per attempt, while ranking second in...

The Bill Belichick-era Patriots were all about ignoring the noise. Mike Vrabel’s Patriots handle things a bit differently.

In case you missed it, ESPN’s “NFL Live” panel unanimously picked the Houston Texans to beat New England in last Sunday’s divisional-round matchup at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots responded by earning a 28-16 victory and a road date with the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.

After the win, receiver Kayshon Boutte, who had one of the biggest plays of the game, used his Instagram story to troll Mina Kimes, Ryan Clark, Hannah Storm, Dan Orlovsky and Marcus Spears.
